Yeah, I've wondered why someone who seemed like the good guy in the Old Testament should suddenly become the embodiment of all evil just because of one little argument.

Back to the topic at hand. Here's what I want on my headstone/memorial plaque (rather than getting buried & wasting valuable real estate, I'd rather have someone mince me up & use me as blood & bone fertiliser in some sort of reforestation project):

Minus the surrounding text & maybe a check on the Greek lettering (the writers of the Principia Discordia admit that, due to the innacuracies of the Ancient Greek typeface they used, the word in the apple probably doesn't say 'Kallisti').

That & the FSM logo.

It would be lovely if the headstones were to have some kind of raised/sunken square section for the religious symbol, or some formation for where the religious symbol would be placed. Then we atheists could leave the thing blank.

Why does it have to be religious when the deceased is not? Why does religion even enter the discussion?

It is stupid to say that not having a religion is always counted as a religion. That's like saying being healthy is a form of disease. Not having a disease is not a disease. (Not saying religion is a disease, just making an analogy).

My problem with that symbol is that it's the American Atheists symbol, an organisation which only a few atheists align to. Notably, the "AA" were headed by a very strange woman who just wanted to make people angry at her. A few decades ago they found here and some of here "followers" bodies and now theres a big conspiracy about people stealling their money.

The brights symbol might be better, but there are many who align to transhumanism, aswell as religions that people are curious about, like scientology. Why make a distinction between a religion someone thought of 2000 years ago and a religion somebody thought up 2 years ago?

Myself, I'd probably want both a pastafarian one and a humanist one...
